Peaking through the window, I searched for signs of life as we lowered deeper into the abyss of pollution and morning fog.
As we penetrated what appeared to be an endless sea of grey foam, I began to discern patches of light. A million spheres of light suddenly peaked through the thick layers of pollution and I realized that the enormous slumbering creature had been tracing the trajectory of our plane as soon as we began our descent over the fringed edges of its endlessness.
I suddenly realized Mexico City slumbered below me and my heart jumped. It was five in the morning and I had finally arrived to the city that has been my destination ever since I first arrived almost four years ago.
It is precisely that moment of exaltation inspired by my palpable proximity to it that characterizes its entrancing nature. I arrived to Mexico City two days ago and I find myself adjusting to how it awakens, its palpitations, its breath, its restlessness. Returning means a natural and fluid synchronization, matching energy and breath.
Regreso al monstruo, y me arrojo a su mar de luz, de caós, de vida.
What an incredible photo! You capture Mexico City beautifully in your post.
Regreso al monstruo, y me arrojo a su mar de luz, de caós, de vida.
I think this is my favorite single sentence of yours.
